Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2062 Drink of Victory (12)

Although it is a tent castle drawn with strokes, it still looks amazing after being built in just a few days. The key is that there is still a certain wooden structure inside, unlike ordinary tents built with ropes, which seem to fall down when the wind blows.

When Georgiana entered, the table was set, with a white cloth, but no plates. There is a small tent not far from the big tent, which is a temporary kitchen. You can see the cook directing the helpers to rotate the roasted whole lamb on the fire.

She smelled an onion smell from a long distance away, which reminded her of the Guards' military song - "Onion Song". The last time Georgiana heard them sing was when Bonaparte chose a general to go to Santo Domingo At the safari, the British were also present.

She knew that giving up fishing rights was not that simple, especially since Addington also banned France from fishing. It was hard for her to imagine anyone other than William Pitt Jr. having such a scheme.

Before "leaving", Georgiana learned a prophecy from the crystal ball that the turmoil in Paris will spread to all parts of Europe. There are many cities in those pictures, but London is not.

Now it was time for her to think about the concept of "Europe", that is, "Europa".

If we take the empire map established by "Father of Europe" Charlemagne, the Kingdom of England obviously does not belong to it, and this is also the "foreign policy" that Britain has always pursued. A divided European continent is beneficial to Britain, and European countries There is often a "Roman dream", not only to restore the territory of the former Roman Empire, but also to unify like Rome.

The Foreign Office is pro-European, whatever it may be behind the scenes, and Georgiana can't imagine what it would be like for Britain to withdraw from "Europa".

This was originally the case until the British Ministry of Magic itself took the lead in withdrawing from the International Federation of Wizards under the influence of Septimus Malfoy. Now Lufkin is trying to get Britain back into the International Federation of Wizards. Apart from firmly implementing the International Law of Secrecy, separating the Muggles from the wizarding world, wizards for wizards, and Muggles for Muggles, otherwise it will be difficult for her to do so.

Seeing those roasted sheep, she thought of "Sean" again. He must be basking in the sun and eating grass happily now.

Poor Neville, how he dealt with his pet toad, Rifle, after dissecting a bucket of toads.

She continued to patrol the tent. At night, the windproof whale oil lamps were used for lighting. The roses were placed in flower pots made of plaster and tied with ribbons, which could be used as partitions. The scene of two thousand people eating together It is twice the size of Hogwarts' opening ceremony, but students can sit wherever they want, and these high-ranking officials have their own places.

Matilda was instructing the waiters borrowed from the old town of Boulogne-sur-Mer to receive cards with the names of the guests they served, and her voice was hoarse when she shouted.

"No priest at this evening's feast?" asked Madame La Rochefoucauld.

"Why do you think there are priests?" asked Georgiana.

She was speechless for a long time.

Georgiana didn't say much. The impact of the fall of the church can be seen from the French Revolution. Witch hunts in the Middle Ages were not as powerful.

Similarly, it is not so easy for them to come back. Robespierre tried to replace them, but failed. Consumerism has completed "de-Christianization".

If you have time to think about theological issues, it is better to find ways to make money, or to improve your skills and increase your competitiveness.

"De-Christianized" women have increased purchasing power, but they hardly have as many children as women in "ancient times".

Fewer people eat better, more people work better. France has the most young and middle-aged men in Europe, and it was only then that it was able to recruit an army capable of resisting the "Alliance of Kings".

According to the original history, Napoleon was crowned after becoming emperor, and the pope was also the role of master of ceremonies. But he himself picked up the crown and crowned himself, obscuring even the little remaining role of the pope in the ceremony.

The king must be crowned by the pope. If the pope comes, the dukes and kings will kiss the pope's ring and kneel on one knee during the coronation. So usually the archbishop is crowned, and the king just sits.

The authority of theocracy is lower than that of Napoleon, the elected emperor. Most French people are vague about this concept. King and emperor are two concepts, although they both represent monarchy.

Although Napoleon was no longer a monarch for life, he retained a designated heir in the constitution, somewhat like a Roman dictator.

The difference between hereditary and elective successors is not just blood ties, like a Roman dictator who didn't designate a successor, that would be decided from among the "well known", or parliament. The United Kingdom chose the second way. When James II was overthrown, they chose a "Dutch Orange" to become the king of England, and later members of Hanover became kings. The son is much more distantly related.

"As we all know", the father's inheritance is inherited by the son, and when the son is gone, it will be inherited by other relatives, such as brothers or something. But a country is different from a personal family business. The throne of the Roman Empire is not hereditary, and sometimes sons-in-law and adopted sons will inherit it.

When there are too many successors, drawing on the historical experience of the Eastern Empire, there may be a civil war in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty. There is a natural law obligation to appoint an heir.

The people did not give Napoleon the power to govern for life, but gave him the power to choose a successor and immunity. The constitution was passed by a referendum.

This is similar to how Pomona passed the throne to Neville. There are many botanists who are better than him outside the school, but she passed the position of professor of herbal medicine to Neville, and the dean's responsibilities were delegated by Professor Graplan.

That is to say, Napoleon can also divide the power of his dictator to one or two people, but the power to designate an heir belongs to the first ruler, and he cannot divide this title.

The way the Roman emperor announces heirs can be oral or written will, (emphasis added) the successor does not represent the successor's children or close relatives, but anyone who declares to inherit his status in any way, Even if this person is not among the "well known" heirs.

Everyone chooses to obey the rules of the game, so there is no injustice. The laws of the country are like the rules of the game. Maybe you are a shoe shiner, but the first ruler thinks that you can lead the people, and then you become His heir.

It feels like a dream, but wasn't Numa also living in seclusion with his wife when he became the second king of Rome?

The reason for choosing him is because of bird occupancy, that is, he was selected based on a bird. Modern people must think that such a choice is particularly unreasonable. But Numa is indeed a wise king. He also changed the Roman calendar to a calendar that is not affected by political changes and does not need to be announced by the temple.

Numa once had a tryst with a fairy, and obtained the activity of preventing people from being sacrificed due to natural disasters.

But what falls from the sky is not necessarily pie, it may also be hail. If the lucky successor is not afraid of poison and daggers, he can also try it.

"Oh, yes, ice!" Georgiana slapped her forehead, "Is the ice ready?"

"Get ready, the champagne is served chilled," said Mrs. Barron.

Although it is such a cold day, and we are still in a tent with air leakage, what if someone wants to drink ice?

Not to mention there is already ice cream for dessert.

Look at what a "smart" idea she came up with.

She turned around again, and when she passed a hillside, she suddenly heard a cannon, which was a new type of artillery. At the same time, a fleet was docked on the sea, with the British flag flying on the mast, as if the guests had come.
